OK ive just got the HD on Orange and being a complete novice to the world of smart phones, how do i get the Wifi to access the web at hotels etc?
It works on my home router fine, however im currently away on business, and want to access the hotel internet, so i can start exploring the world this of so called App's!
Ive turned it on, and found hotel network and connected.
Now to access the web via the laptop i need additional login though the web brower.
How do i do this with the HD?
Also how do i install apps?
can i download them onto the SD memory stick then install them onto the phone?
To access your hotel network via the phone, simply open up the browser on it & key in the logon info. You'll probably have to disconnect the PC first though.
Re apps, just go to https://market.android.com/ and browse and download. Or use the Market app that is pre-installed on the phone. They will be downloaded and installed automatically for you (you can also do this via your PC, assuming your Google account is up to date. Once you click on the accept button on your PC's browser, the app will be sent to your phone & installed).
Have fun!
Hi, i have my Asus Eee Pad Transformer for like 20 days now, and i cannot install apps from the market, just a few ones, but apps like Flash or Angry Birds or any others not, and a message saying " this item could not be found" appears or "this item cannot be installed in your country" even for the paid apps. When i select the item for the download, the section of the size of the app says "0.00 B" and an exclamation icon next to it. I live in Chile, and i really don't know to what to do! I was looking for a solution to this problem in the web, but nothing, just people with the same problem. I know there's not a problem with the market here because i have a Galaxy S II and i can install all the apps from the market that i want.
If anyone could give me a hand i'll be very appreciated.
Thanks!
The issue is location based, I posted some details in another topic for this same issue, you can find my post here:

Copy/Paste:
This is exactly what is happening to me, I'm from Puerto Rico.
I had the Xoom 3G and currently have the HTC EVO. These 2 devices never had problems with the market, why?
1. The Xoom 3G contains mobile network chipset and is "carrier bound", in this case, Verizon. I've noticed that when a Honeycomb tablet is carrier bound, the owner will be able to see all apps permitted to the carrier country. In this case, since it's Verizon (US based), the market is fully open.
2. The HTC EVO (Sprint) is the same thing as the Xoom 3G.
Now, the interesting part: if a Honeycomb tablet is WiFi only, since there is no mobile network chipset, the market will use the current IP address to recognize the location (country) and filter apps for that country.
I sold the Xoom 3G for a Transformer (obviously, WiFi only) and since I'm in Puerto Rico, the market is too filtered, not even Adobe or most of Google apps are available.
The following 2 workarounds works for me:
1. I activated the hotspot on my HTC EVO, then did a factory reset on the TF. During the initial setup, I selected the WiFi connection provided by the Hotspot, since this WiFi contains a US based IP address (Sprint), the setup will recognize the location as US. After finishing the setup, the market will be fully open, not only that, the web version of the market (https://market.android.com/) will also recognize the TF as located on US and will keep it saved that way. After changing the WiFi back to the local network, I can still browse and install all apps to the TF from the web market, since it was setup with an US IP, but the market app will still filter the apps.
2. In the "My Apps" section of the market app, only those apps filtered to the country will be shown, so if there is an update for a specific filtered app, you won't see the pending update. In this case, I just reconnect the TF to the EVO hotspot WiFi and then restart it, when going to the market app, all apps will be there (My Apps) and I can see if there is any pending update for all installed apps. This method can also be used to install apps from the market app, it's just that the download speed will be probably slower than local network.
Same problem

Ok, thanks! I'll try it tomorrow!
Update --------
After trying the method suggested from Adrian.Chandra i was, at first, able to download almost anything from the market, a little "slow" but i doesn't matter if i can download. But! That was with Android Honeycomb 3.0, because when i upgrade my Eee Pad to 3.1 this method stop working...
I can share some of my personal experience with the "proxy way".
1.- It works just with proxys with port 80 or 8080, or at least no other proxy work for me.
2.- When you star downloading your app, some times it fails and tells you that the netwwork is wrong or something like that, but if you hit retry or try to donwload the app over an over an over, it finally gave up and start donwload.
3.- If your google account is not working, try to open the browser for test if the proxy is really working.
That's all, thanks for the help. If anybody knows another method to avoid the market blocking the downloads please tell me and i test it!
Sorry if my english is not that good...
Please do the step again after 3.1 update. Ii also have the same problem after 3.1 update but its working again after i did the steps again. I also only able to use port 80 or 8080 proxy.
It works, but fails a lot, and if i turn the proxy off, the problem returns. It looks like Google is constantly "watching" at your account location and blocking everything for not reason at all.
Find a better us based proxy, its a hit and miss.
Yes, i have Wifi. But everytime I try to add the account and login it says "cannot get a reliable data connection". I have the same **** on my phone, I cannot access the market from here in china. Only using mobile internet with VPN to europe.
But the thing is, the VPN works only on mobile internet. Which the Nook doesnt have.
How on earth do I add a Google account to my nook, using only Wifi.
I have tried setting up a hotspot with my laptop, which is connected to VPN. But my nook running MIUI doesnt find the connection (neither does my phone, which also runs MIUI).
I am at a loss here.
Any help or thoughts?
Strange ......
I am also in China and I have an Gmail accound on my HTC (android) Phone and on my Nook color and it works in 3G(Phone) and on Wifi without any Issues.
The only thing which is not working is to download Facebook, Twitter and Co apps from Market.

I searched briefly & had no luck, but this was a pretty simple find, so I am sure many have already worked this out...
At any rate, we all know that Amazon says "coming soon" on using networks that require a web page sign in for internet access, like you find in many hotels & other establishments that require you consent or a password to be entered via a network sign in page...
As a frequent traveler, one of the reasons I have both the Fire TV & the Stick, was to be able to take my show with me. Well, I was not happy to find this as the case on an updated unrootable device while on the road. I didn't have ADB to push any apps on my device, but wanted to buy the latest Hobbit movie, so I found a work around that was simple & required no laptop, no usb, just an initial network you can access, like from home or work, or any open network.
At any rate, all you need to do is install the HTML5 App Tester apk, found here: http://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Digital-Services-Inc-Tester/dp/B00DZ3I1W8
Once installed (which requires an open or secure access point without a required web sign in (I used tethering from my mobile device), you then go to the web page launch & set up anything as an address, since those hotel access points redirect you anyway. I set up www.google.com.
The you just select the hotel or other log in/accept terms/enter password on web page as your network in settings & once it connects, go to settings, Applications, Manage All Application, scroll to the Web App Tester & launch it from the menu & then launch the web page from the Web App Tester application. It will then redirect you to the sign in page on whatever network you are connected to & voila, you are now connected to the Internet & can steam your heart out, unless they have firewall restrictions of course... So far, it has worked on every hotel network I have tried. All Hilton & Sheraton families of hotels, DoubleTree & numerous botique or one off hotels B&B & other chains.
You're in luck. Amazon is pushing an update that lets you the Fire TV connect to public networks with login pages such as hotels or dorm rooms: Amazon Media Room: Press Releases
Beforei the update couldn't you simply do it by sideloading a web browser so that fire can open links, then sign-in in a web browser.. of course you would need a mouse and keboard,but like the other guy mentioned a nice OTA is incoming!

Click to collapse
Another easy thing to do is to solve the issue externally. Check out getting a HooToo Tripmate.. It will let you start up an authenticated wireless hotspot and you can connect to it with anything you want - roku, firetv, tablet etc. It works for networks that require web page login, or WIFI password authentication. It has other advantages as well you might like - usb battery pack etc.. Depending on the model, they start at $20.. I never take a trip without mine.. It has become a priceless addition to my equipment..
Just my $.02
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knew of a mod (in any form/fashion) that will "revert" the certificate changes that were introduced in Android 7.0, or if this would be a possibility?
The story in the beta's was/is:
To use my Wi-Fi at my school (I literally live at school) I have to install a certificate on all devices. In Marshmallow I just enter my credentials when connecting to the Wi-Fi, and it connects, however there is no internet connection yet, I then have to open the browser and visit cert.localnetwork.zone, and install the certificate which then allows me access to the internet (well, 'restricted' access, hence the purpose of the certificate).
However, in N, there are some extra steps, when I [connect to the Wi-Fi I have to select between use system certificates and do not validate, which I then select "do not validate", as I don't have any certificates installed on the device to use, and I don't know the domain to enter for the other, and it kicks up an error if I enter cert.localnetwork.zone (the only thing I could think to use). Then when I go to Chrome just like any other time I go to cert.localnetwork.zone, and download and install the certificate like any other ROM I would do it on. It installs and grants me access to the internet, however the access is 'different'.
I can't use the Google App, which means that Google Now doesn't work at all, neither does the search bar on the GNL, going to Chrome I can't search something in the URL bar, instead I have to go to bing.com, and then search it from there (google.com returns an error). I open Sync for Reddit (Pro), and it will not load returning that I have no internet connection, however upon using the official Reddit app, everything works fine. Using the Bing app results in the same error as the Google App (no internet connection), however when using the bing website as mentioned before it works fine. Other services like Google Plus do not work either.
But I am still able to access the Play Store, Gmail, Inbox, Twitter, Tumblr and other services just as I would before, but it seems that anything using https, does not work due to an added security measure. However, when switching to another Wi-Fi network, or using my data, everything returns and works as per usual (which is quite annoying, when a heap of Google Now, Reddit etc notifications come streaming in). Every version of the N preview has been like this, however any version of 6.x has no problem. I haven't come across this error on any other devices (OnePlus One, Nexus 5, iPhone 6, Macbook Pro, Dell XPS 13, Chromebook Pixel, Nexus 7). I've basically narrowed it down to the connection not being private, as it says when I press "do not validate", however I don't know of any other way to connect to the Wi-Fi..
However, in the official 7.0 release it's even worse, now I connect to the Wi-Fi, and I can ONLY access the Play Store (which works without the certificate being installed anyway). I contacted our IT department, and they said that this is not something that they can change since they are required by the ADoE to monitor internet activity.
So I was wondering if there was some either mod/rom or ANYTHING that would allow me to revert the certificate changes in 7.0, or a root app or whatever that allowed connections on an "insecure" Wi-Fi network.
